Lurking behind the debate over gun control in the US
is the debate over expanding government versus freedom. The framers of the US Constitution came down
on the side of freedom and limited government. The founders knew men naturally desire to be
free, even if some men abuse that freedom. They likewise knew that it is
inherent in government, even a necessary government, to diminish freedom.
Many bureaucrats in government, today, do not understand the
limits of government in the US
and come down on the side of an ever-expanding government power. They want to diminish more and more freedom. Every time an incident with guns happens,
these power-hungry, government bureaucrats become afraid. They are afraid that if citizens have guns, there
may come a time when those citizens will use their guns to keep their freedom. Well, personally I think that’s a good
thing.
Having said that, what is the REAL
reason so many citizens own or want to own a gun? Very simply put, it is due to the realization
that the government will not be able to protect you when needed, or even worse,
will have no desire to do so.
The other day, on December 27th, 2012, Senator Diane Feinstein released a summary of a bill that would strip away our right to buy (and perhaps in the future, own) semi-automatic rifles and handguns. She likes to call them assault weapons, because she is completely ignorant of the meaning of the term. (Memo to the Media: Please learn what an “automatic” weapon is and isn’t. Please.)
Oh by the way, speaking of “Dummy Feinstein”, PLEASE WATCH

How’s that for typical politician hypocrisy? It’s OK for her to own and carry a gun for
protection, but not for you and I. Our
lives don’t matter because we are not a big important senator. What a bunch of BULLSHIT.
1. What part of “the right of the people to keep and bear arms” and “shall not be infringed” do these Feinstein and other Dumb-o-crats in Congress NOT understand?
2. Even if you don’t like semi-automatic rifles, the criteria in her list includes many handguns that people use for self-defense, such as Glocks, Springfield XD’s, etc. If passed, her bill would reduce us to use revolvers and some semi-auto guns that hold less than ten rounds in their magazines, for self-defense and concealed carry purposes. This would leave us ill-protected against criminals and tyrants (but I repeat myself) because in today’s world, revolvers are inferior weapons, although better than nothing. Don’t believe me? Look up the 1986 FBI Miami Shootout and what the FBI’s response was.
3. Registration? Seriously? Historically registration has always led to confiscation of those weapons by the government, which means that anyone that does register their guns is getting set up to be screwed. (Word of advice for gun owners, although you probably know this by now: don’t register your guns, you’re just going to lose them later.)
4. The left’s solution to the failure of gun control, such as in Chicago, California, or Connecticut (which has protective weapon bans and high crime) is… more gun control. This will not end with this bill; they will “progress” until all firearms have been banned and confiscated (see #3.) It is in their nature to do so.
5. Remember, the idiot who wrote this bill is the same person that carried a gun for self-defense and has a hard-to-get California CCW permit. She, and other lords and ladies like her, can carry a gun, but us peasants can’t?
6. Even if you hate guns, you should still oppose this bill, because ultimately this is about freedom. You have the right to protect yourself in whatever fashion you see fit, whether that’s with a baseball bat, a handgun, or yes, a semi-automatic rifle. This bill effectively says, “You can only protect yourself with certain tools authorized by the State.” Soon, in the not too distant future, the government will effectively say, “You have no right to defend yourself at all.”
7. Even if this bill doesn’t pass now, they will pass it in 2015 IF the Democrats take back the House. Hopefully, this bill will fail now and give law-abiding gun owners one last chance to stock up on ammunition. When the consequences of out-of-control debt hit us, and riots break out in the streets all across America, they’ll need it to protect themselves and their families. But of course, this all depends on the willingness of the Republicans to fight, and given their tendency to capitulate to the left on the fiscal cliff debate, I doubt they’ll fight for our 2nd amendment rights.
Here's another one!!!
CHECK OUT THIS LINK...
Note that the "M1 Carbine" using
the .30 Carbine round (about as powerful as a .357 pistol round, which is NOT
insignificant), would be banned, having a detachable 15 or 30 round magazine,
whereas the much more powerful "M1 Garand", using the .30-06 round,
apparently would NOT be banned, because it ONLY has an 8 round en
bloc clip......duh......which one would do the most damage, you
super intelligent lawyers??
Several million dead Germans, Japanese,
North Koreans, and Chinese Communists would rise up and testify as to the
effectiveness of an 8 round Garand.....except, as previously noted, they are
still DEAD from the overwhelming effect of their effectiveness!!
When will these idiots realize every time they start talking about stricter gun laws, gun sales soar?
